Bleecker Street Pizza

Here is a great pizza story.

An ex-cop opens a pizzeria that starts to get lots of buzz. He learns his craft well.

He uses fresh Parmigiano Reggiano – 1 Pound
in his sauce (OK, gravy). This is the secret to making his incredible base for his pizza. Located just 1 1/2 miles from Times Square this pizzeria is one to watch.

Doug Greenwood, explains the 28-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano is the real secret. And a wheel of 28-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano can cost about $1,000 bucks. Doug says that in order to have the name  Parmigiano Reggiano , it needs to be certified.

They serve several different types of pizza. Each one is unique, and each one is very, very good.

Having a slice of pizza here is like heaven on earth!

The interview took place at the Pizza Expo in Las Vegas.

Scot describes how he got into the pizza business. His motivation was that he really loves pizza. He has always been a fan of some of the best pizzas in New York. In particular he loves gourmet pizza. He particularly loves wood fired pizza. He admired the pizzas from New York and wanted to do the same thing.

He had never made pizza before but he decided to build his first brick oven by hand. He purchased a number of recipes and books about pizza. He explains that he learned by studying and learning all he could about pizza. He is a self taught pizzaiolo.

He developed his skills and was able to create artisan pizza. Or as he says, “Great pizza”.

His pizzas have won awards. He has also had his pizza described as being the best in the world.

Scot’s secret to making great pizza? He says you need to really care aobut what you do. You need to have a passion for pizza and you need to use the best ingredients that you can.

Thanks Scot.

New York City Water 'Flows' Downstream To Florida, Creating Perfect Pizza

South Florida Upscale Italian Restaurant Creates Real "New York" Pizza with Innovative Water Filtration System Replicating New York City Water

Palm Beach County, FL (PRWEB) June 17, 2010 — Anyone who has tasted real New York pizza, bagels and breads knows there's something special about them. For starters, they're lighter and crisper. This is thanks to award-winning New York water, famous for its purity and unique mineral characteristics that make it perfect for creating out-of-this world baked goods. Now, a new company is making this water available to restaurants and bakeries nationwide, and a South Florida fine Italian restaurant is the first to jump on board.

Palm Beach County, Florida-based Famous New York Baking Water Corp. has created a distinctive water system to duplicate the baking characteristics of New York water – only purer – making it possible for restaurants and bakeries nationwide to replicate the real flavors and textures of authentic New York-style breads, bagels, pizzas and other baked goods. Mamma Mia's Trattoria in Palm Beach County, Florida, is the first to scoop up this new system for its 220-seat restaurant, which serves around 250 covers per day.

Joey Lograsso, owner of Mamma Mia's Trattoria, says that his customers can't get enough of his New York pizza. "I was doing great before," says Lograsso, "but now my pizzas are flying out the door. I never dreamed I could have real New York pizza in South Florida. And thanks to the purity of the water, the flavors of all of my foods are enhanced."

Famous New York Baking Water Corp. offers a variety of systems scaled to the individual restaurant or bakery's usage needs. It teamed up with Fitness and Health CLA, one of the premier filtration companies in the water industry, to create this unique water filtration system that duplicates the precise baking characteristics of New York Water.

Anthony Vincent Liotta, who started making bread in his father's Brooklyn bakery at age eight, tested the water and was amazed at the difference. "I have been baking breads, pizza and bagels for over 35 years in New York and Florida. I couldn't believe the way the products came out using their water. The crust and textures were identical to the ones I used to make in New York. I was also impressed by how the water enhanced the flavor of the soups."

The water system can supply everything from small mom-and-pop pizzerias to wholesale bakeries that operate 24/7. The system can be installed as part of new construction or retrofitted into existing operations. Famous New York Baking Water Corp. is making it available nationwide, so that now restaurants, bakeries and pizzeria's from Palm Beach to Portland can serve real New York pizza, breads and bagels.

"This is not 'New York style' pizza, as many restaurants advertise," says Angela Bean, president of Famous New York Baking Water Corp. "Since our system replicates the necessary baking characteristics of New York water, you are getting authentic New York baked goods."

"What's amazing," says Bean, "is that not only is the water great for baking, it's also the healthiest and purist water in the world. It makes the flavors of everything it touches from soups to sodas really pop."
